A presentation at Heritage University in September 2025 by Jacob Campbell and is tagged with Heritage University, MSW Program, SOWK 581
Description
Week five is an asynchronous week, with no in-person class session. We will be exploring multicultural practice, which requires an understanding of theory and practice implementation. This week, students will read about (and take a reading quiz) multicultural practice. They will also look at the NASW and the indicators for cultural competency they lay out for social workers. Students will also be able to consider how cultural factors are assessed within diagnostic interviews. During my lecture vido we are just completing the #AMA - the DSM Edition that we ran out of time for in class. The agenda is as follows:
- Week Five Content
- AMA - DMS-5-TR Edition
The Learning Objectives for this Week Include:
- Know the NASW standards for cultural competence
- Practice using tools and strategies for assessing cultural needs
- Understand how multicultural worldviews affect the therapeutic relationship
